...also proved indifferent to the vital, popular film industry in India, with its delirious musical melodramas, and in Hong Kong, whose films have enough violent action to put Arnold and Sly out of business. Exoticism, artistry, hurtling pace--these movies have it all. Yet they remain the province of Indian and Chinese emigres and of the cultists who haunt downtown or mail-order video outlets. The one exception, Jackie Chan, was a huge Asian star a dozen years before his first Hong Kong film got a U.S. release...

And earlier this month, a group of 90 university professors sent a letter to officials at several hundred universities, asking them not to schedule athletic events against schools that continue to use these names. This December, Harvard’s men’s ice hockey team will play two games against my alma mater, the University of North Dakota (UND), which uses the team name “Fighting Sioux,” and given...
